Hi Denny, welcome to planDisney!
Your visit to Walt Disney World Resort is next month! Hooray! Since you’re staying at a Disney Resort, you have the option to
pre-order your MagicBand+ before you arrive in Walt Disney World, and that means you get a special pre-arrival discount.
If you purchase your MagicBand+ 11 or more days before your arrival, the MagicBands will be shipped to your home. If you complete your order 6-10 days before your reservation date, the MagicBands will be waiting for you at your Disney Resort for pick-up. If there are 5 days or fewer until your arrival, you will not be able to pre-select your MagicBand+. You can place your order on the
Walt Disney World website by logging in to your My Disney Experience account and visiting “My MagicBands and Cards.” If you are eligible to place a MagicBand+ order, you’ll also see the number of days you have left to complete your order before your arrival. As a reminder, this order can only be placed once, so make sure everyone on your reservation makes their selections before submitting the order.
If you’re unable to complete your purchase in time, you can purchase a MagicBand+ at most
shopping locations in Walt Disney World Resort, but there will be no pre-arrival discount. The MagicBand+ designs available for pre-order are subject to change so if there is a particular character you’re looking for, you may find it in the wide variety of designs available in the shops.
I hope this helps, Denny! Having your MagicBand+ in advance will give you time to make sure it is properly linked to your account and ready to use immediately, but it doesn’t take long to link it if you wait until you arrive at your Resort. If you have any more questions as you prepare for your vacation, please come back and
see me again at planDisney!
